Majestic birds in majestic settings.

India’s National bird finds happy living spaces in the wilderness between the villages of Chettinad.

The peacock is the bird vehicle of Lord Muruga the second son of Shiva and Parvathi. This elevated, holy status translates to special treatment given to the peacock in Chettinad.

Sometimes sighted on the roofs of the old Mansions, mangroves and fields, they move freely in Chettinad without any fear of traps.
